Fovant Badges - Added to Monuments in South West

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Land owner permission not required.

The Fovant Badges are a set of regimental badges cut into a chalk hill, Fovant Down, near Fovant, in southwest Wiltshire, England. They are located between Salisbury and Shaftesbury on the A30 road in the Nadder valley; or approximately 1⁄2 mile (800 m) southeast of Fovant. They were created by soldiers garrisoned nearby, and waiting to go to France, during the First World War; the first in 1916.[1] They are clearly visible from the A30 road which runs through the village. Nine of the original twenty remain, and are scheduled ancient monuments and recognised by the Imperial War Museum as war memorials.[1] Further badges have been added more recently.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 17/04/2022. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
